Guess what I am about to start watching?



Yes, God of War. I need a proper sageuk in my life (Moon/Sun not being my cup of tea and, imo, not a 'proper' sageuk) and this seems freaking amazing. Plus, my sageuk guru [livejournal.com profile] clairiere raves about it.

Random comment - this is likely biased of me, but I always prefer my male sageuk leads to look like the gentleman up there, or Jang Hyuk or Lee Seo Jin or Song Il Gook or Oh Ji Ho or Park Shi Hoo - 30+ and manly-looking enough that I can buy them with facial hair and wielding a sword or commanding hordes of people. I mean, they don't have to look like the Hulk (and normally don't) but they can't be flower boys (whom I normally love). It's somewhat different for a fusion sageuk, but even there I have some limits - if it's a drama about scholars like Sungkyunkwan Scandal, fine or a teenaged masked avenger like Return of Iljimae, fine. But fusion or not, if the protagonist is supposed to be some sort of a warrior, he better look like one.

Oh I'm so glad, this is going to fulfill your sageuk-loving heart so much. And as someone who plunged in, having never watched any clip before, that preview is *nothing* compared to the real deal. So much goodness awaiting you.

Ep 1 was amazing

Do you know where to find subs for this? I've only gotten up to episode 2 (so far it was AWESOME), and I really want to see more.

There used to be a torrents link at krdrama.org, but they (and dramacrazy) now have only subbed videos. Only eps 1 and 2 have subs so far.

Only 2 are subbed so far, 3rd is halfway done.

I've seen the first episode and really liked it! No long drawn out childhood portion. It just throws you right into the action. I'm with you, I like grown up Sageuks. :) This one doesn't seem to be fusion. Just straight up Sageuk. With of course a cast of thousands, it will probably take me 10 or 15 episodes to figure out who everybody is. :) I recognize a lot of faces in this one. Several really good actors. Here's to hoping the writing etc. don't let us down.

Yes, this is not fusion. I like fusion but this feels so gritty-real.

Ooh, I just downloaded episodes 1 and 2, and I'm glad I'm not the only one watching! I was also feeling like a good 'meaty' saguek, MoonSun being a soggy biscuit in comparison to this one.

I hear you about the warrior men, sister; part of the reason MoonSun feels so Disney to me is that the protagonists look way too darn young to take seriously. Now I would totally not mess with Dae Gil from Chuno. All the abs didn't hurt either. Bring on 2012's alpha men!

Yes, I love alpha men - Dae Gil looked like a killer machine not so supposed fighters in m/s

That's on my shortlist of new currently airing dramas too. Not sure if I'll follow it along the subs or not. Depends how much sageuk-speak I need to understand. We'll see.... It sounds and looks totally amazing though and I haven't watched a proper sageuk in ages.

Hi, I was wondering how your order for the unabridge version of Cuidado con el Angel went and if you could give me the website. Thanks!

I actually haven't gotten it yet so not sure I can rec the website since I have no idea if it will work out.

Can you give me the site anyway? So I can check it out and compare prices. Thanks.

Welcome to the bandwagon. 8-) It's very good so far. As for subs - well - as far as I know, only darksmurf is subbing it. I'm waiting for it to come up on MBC America, and if the subs are any better, I'll try transcribing them.

DS subs are good so far. Wow, transcribing!

Oh, and thanks for WC offer - I found it already but major major thanks!

Oh, I remember thinking this one looked interesting when I first heard about it. I'll probably wait till more subs are out before I start watching though.

darksmurf is subbing this apace

Almost forgot about this one because ViKi shows it "not available" and the subbing is slow. May as well wait for it to be over.

:(

darksmurf is very good at subbing - they are already halfway through ep 3.
